LIVE STREAMING ( viewable only when we are recording LIVE ) media type="custom" key="1662685" Dear Friends, We talked in class about what values are most important to us. This is what we decided. We're eager to hear what you feel are the most important values. In fact, we hope that you talk it through as a class before you read our answers so we can compare our ideas without influence from each other. Thanks! __American Values__: American values of 16 high school students. Top five values-

1. Freedom- Base of our country, shapes our outlook on life, allows us to be risk-takers, allows each person to make his/her own choices.

2. Family & Friends- Commitment, love, sense of shelter, teaches right from wrong. We believe that family and friends are becoming closer in importance. Basic unit of society. Teaches us to be individual thinkers as we disagree with our family members. We get support as well as beneficial peer pressure.

3. Education- Gives you opportunities and we have oppportunities to become educated. Motivation for success, better standing. New ideas, question ideas and tradition. Better our understanding of things. Chance to be free thinkers and figure out problems for ourselves. Different levels of education prepare us for the highest level of education which is college. 100% of our students expect to go to college.

4. Honesty- Different degrees of trust in people and the government. It keep society pure, allows for friendship and better cooperation. Opens up conversations.

5. Opportunities/Power of the people/Capitalism (Tied into each other)
